However, if I change (pg_namespace.)nspname to "public", then I do get a result:
The old installation had $wgDBmwschema = "mediawiki", but the upgrade only works if that setting is "public" instead.
I'm not sure how or when that option is used. I suspect it only matters during the install/upgrade process, and that otherwise the database user's search path is what matters. If the previous admin set the schema to "public" during setup and then later changed it to "mediawiki", I think that'd explain the failures that I'm seeing.
In any case, I think I have a path forward.
